One important quote at the beginning of that article

For my rankings, I should note that this is not the order I expect players to ascend to the NHL, but rather it is sorted by the impact/role I expect that player to have when (or if) they do make it to the NHL.

I think that's likely one reason his list varies quite a bit from CP's. I think quite a few prospects in the CP poll benefited from being close to making the NHL (Ortio being an example). Also interesting to see how much higher he has Andersson and even Kylington, and how much lower Ortio, Ferland and Jankowski are. Bill Arnold ahead of Jankowski also intrigues me, and I could definitely see a case being made for that.
